lee country of mfg. question

[porthos]

looking for used lee depriming dies on e-bay. have use for the die bodies. while searching; i saw several new dies and it said shipped from CHINA. interesting??

I thought that Lee's claim to fame was affordable reloading tools made in the USA? But why not, everything else seems to come from China!

Sounds odd to me. I see a site sponsor Titan has Lee universal decapping die on sale for $12.99.
I missed that you're looking for die bodies for something else.

I'm not buying into it. It's a 3rd party on ebay. Who is to say they posted accurate country of origin information?

I go directly to LEE Factory sales and see ???

Lee would not be the first Mfr. to be pirated by China.

i went to e-bay to double check. some decapping dies say "from china" at the bottom. other ads say USA. you will have to do the homework. i don't know if any of this is true. i hope not. if anybody finds out, please let us know.

Certainly Not the Last Either... Due Diligence...

My first thought was a vendor in China has some Lee dies for sale. But I don't know the regulations on shipping reloading tools out of country. I doubt if Lee would knowingly ship to China. Second thought, misprint...

All Lee Precision products are manufactured in Hartford, Wisconsin.

Greetings,

I believe the Lee Lead Hardness Tester hand microscope is now made in Communist China.

The old microscopes were made in the USA.

Cheers,

Lee has been a victim of counterfeit product for about a decade now. First it was with the Smartreloader brand, who copied every one of the single stage presses and even copied the Lee perfect powder measure.
More recently, someone has been making inferior copies of the Lee universal decaping die and their Auto-prime shell holders.
